Modelling of cascade-induced dissolution of coherent chromium precipitates in copper

A model of cascade-induced precipitate dissolution is formulated describing the effect of heavy ion irradiation at low temperatures on the stability of the metastable coherent chromium phase in a Cu-based alloy. Both analytical and Monte Carlo simulation results are consistent with recent transmissi...

Summary:A model of cascade-induced precipitate dissolution is formulated describing the effect of heavy ion irradiation at low temperatures on the stability of the metastable coherent chromium phase in a Cu-based alloy. Both analytical and Monte Carlo simulation results are consistent with recent transmission electron microscopy observations [1] which showed that the strain contrast of these precipitates disappeared completely after irradiation to a fluence of 0.1 dpa at room temperature.
